Wireless E-Stop
Overview
FORT Wireless E-Stop: Instant Safety, Absolute Control
Take safety into your own hands. The FORT Wireless E-Stop provides high-integrity remote intervention, allowing operators to halt any machine from a safe distance. Designed for high-risk testing and development environments, it is the ultimate safeguard for your personnel and assets.
- Universal Compatibility: Remote emergency stop for any machine with an E-Stop circuit.
- Industrial Range: Powerful, reliable signal coverage for expansive worksites.
- Safety You Can Trust: Patented fail-safe design for mission-critical operations.
- Rapid Deployment: Ideal for immediate use in testing, prototyping, and active deployments.
Instant Intervention When It Matters Most
Emergencies don't give warnings. In robotics and automation, seconds define the
difference between a minor glitch and an accident. The Wireless E-Stop allows you to intervene immediately, shutting down systems from a safe distance before an incident escalates.
- Scale Your Safety: Stop up to 11 machines simultaneously with a single press.
- Seamless Integration: Easily retrofits into existing hardwired E-Stop circuits.
- Mitigate Liability: Proactively reduce the risk of accidents and workplace injury.
- Personnel Confidence: Give your team the peace of mind to innovate safely.
Features
Patented Dual-Channel Safety
Protect your team with a patented system featuring a dual-channel design and redundant monitoring. This fail-safe architecture ensures that when you hit the button, the machine stops—period.
Built for the Field
The ergonomic handset is designed for mobility, easily worn on a belt or carried. The Vehicle Safety Controller (VSC) receiver mounts directly to your machine, maintaining constant, encrypted communication with the handset to ensure a dependable, heartbeat-monitored connection.
Flexible Pairing for Complex Workflows
Configure your safety architecture to match your operational needs. The FORT ecosystem supports versatile pairing options:
One-to-Many: One handset can trigger a stop across multiple machines simultaneously.
Many-to-One: Control a single high-value asset from multiple remote handsets.
Many-to-Many: Scalable safety configurations for multi-robot swarms or complex industrial lines.
The Foundation of a Secure Ecosystem
The Wireless E-Stop is a core component of the FORT Foundation Series; a suite of tools designed to make automation safe, secure, and scalable. By integrating with the Wireless Remote Control and Vehicle Safety Controller, you create a unified safety ecosystem that simplifies deployment and reduces operational risk.
Cross-Industry Applications
If it has an emergency stop circuit, FORT can make it wireless. Our solutions are currently protecting people and property across:
Mobile Robotics: AMR and AGV testing and operations.
Autonomous Systems: Self-driving transit and utility vehicles.
Heavy Equipment: Remote operation of construction and mining machinery.
Industrial Automation: High-speed manufacturing lines and robotic arms.
Why Choose Wireless Safety?
As machines move out of cages and into shared spaces, tethered safety is no longer sufficient. FORT’s technology is safety-rated and purpose-built for mobility, offering superior protection over traditional fixed-point E-Stops by keeping the "kill switch" exactly where the operator is.
